Rebirth 70: I am a Koi

"Could it be that... this is it..." I muttered to myself, my heartbeat quickened, my hands trembled a little. An inexplicable excitement and anticipation surged in my heart. I carefully put the seeds back into the package, opened several other packages, and found that they all contained the same seeds, but of slightly different types.

I took a deep breath and calmed down my excitement. My intuition told me that these seeds were extraordinary. Perhaps they were the key to solving the dilemma of the planting base!

I immediately returned to the room with the seeds. At this time, the technical expert was pacing anxiously with a frown on his face. Seeing me coming back, he hurried over to me with a hint of anxiety in his tone, "How is it? Xiao Mu, have you found a solution?"

I smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe, we found it." Then I spread out my hands and showed him the burlap bags wrapped with seeds.

The technical expert was stunned for a moment, then picked up a package and asked in confusion: "What is this? Seeds? Are you going to try planting new seeds? But..."

"Don't jump to conclusions," I interrupted him. "Take a closer look at these seeds. What's the difference between them and the ones we usually see?"

The technical expert frowned and unwrapped a sack. He picked up a seed and looked at it carefully. "This..." He exclaimed, raised his head suddenly, and looked at me in disbelief. "This...this seed is very special!"

"You felt it too, right?" I suppressed my excitement and tried to keep myself calm. "These seeds contain very strong vitality. I suspect that they may have a strong ability to adapt to the environment!"

"This...how is this possible?" Although the technical expert refuted verbally, his eyes were fixed on the seeds. "If it is really as you said, then...then this is simply..." He was so excited that he was incoherent.

"So," I smiled a little, "let's give it a try, shall we?"

The technical expert nodded vigorously, "Yes! Try it! Must try it!" He held the seeds carefully, as if they were treasures, "Xiao Mu, where did you find these seeds?" he suddenly asked, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration.

I smiled mysteriously, "It's a long story," I paused, "but," I lowered my voice, "these seeds may change everything..." As soon as the technical expert finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Bai Hanchuan walked in in high spirits. Although his face was still a little pale, he was no longer as weak as before.

"What are you talking about? Why is it so lively?" he asked with a smile, his eyes sweeping over me and the technical expert, finally landing on the burlap bag in my hand.

"Hanchuan, are you feeling better?" I quickly stood up and went over to him, helping him sit on the chair.

"Much better," Bai Hanchuan held my hand, "I'm fine now. Sorry to have made you worried."

"What are these?" He pointed to the burlap bag on the table and looked at the technical expert.

"These are not ordinary seeds," the technical expert said excitedly, "These seeds may be able to solve all our current problems!" He told Bai Hanchuan all about his discoveries and speculations.

After listening to this, Bai Hanchuan also picked up a seed and looked at it carefully. Although he was not as professional as the technical experts, he also felt that these seeds contained an extraordinary vitality. "Really?" He raised his head and looked at me with burning eyes.

I nodded. "I trust my instincts."

"Okay!" Bai Hanchuan said decisively, "Let's try it!" He turned to look at the technical expert, "What do we need to do?"

The technical expert immediately went to work. "We need to conduct a detailed analysis and research on these seeds and develop the most appropriate planting plan. We also need..."

In the next few days, the entire planting base was filled with hope and enthusiasm. Technical experts studied those magical seeds day and night, while Bai Hanchuan and I were busy calming people's hearts and re-formulating planting plans.

Some employees who resigned after hearing the news also returned to the planting base. Some of them came with apologies, some with expectations, but more of them hoped to overcome the difficulties together with us.

"Xiao Mu, I heard that you found new seeds. Is that true?" A former employee came to me with anticipation in his eyes.

I smiled and nodded, "It's true. We are studying new planting plans and I believe there will be results soon."

"Great!" the old employee said excitedly, "I knew you would find a way!"

I patted his shoulder and said, "I believe we can get through this."

It was late at night, and Bai Hanchuan and I were still discussing a new planting plan in the office. "These seeds are too precious. We can't act rashly. We must first conduct trial planting on a small scale and wait for the results before... " I said.

"You're right," Bai Hanchuan nodded. "We can first select a small piece of land and test-plant these new seeds. At the same time, we also need to..." He paused, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "We need to tell these old customers about this news..."

"Tell the old customers?" I frowned slightly, feeling a little confused. "But there are no results yet. Isn't it too early?"

Bai Hanchuan walked to the window, looked at the planting base that had begun to take shape in the distance, and said firmly: "No, now is the time. We don't need to promise them anything, we just need to let them see our determination and confidence, see that we are working hard to get out of the predicament, and see a future full of hope."

I pondered for a moment and gradually understood what he meant. Admittedly, the new seeds have not yet produced any results, and everything is unknown. But we can't just sit and wait for success. We need to let old customers know that we have not given up and we are still fighting for the future.

The next day, we began to contact old customers who had worked with us and invited them to visit our planting base. To our surprise, the old customers responded very positively to our invitation, and most of them said they were willing to give us a chance to see how we could get out of the predicament and stand up again.

A week later, the first batch of old customers came to the planting base. In order to dispel their doubts, we specially arranged for them to visit the base and introduced the new seeds, planting plans and future development prospects to them in detail.

"Everyone, I know that everyone is very concerned about the situation of our planting base." I stood on the podium in the conference room, facing the pairs of expectant eyes in the audience, and said calmly, "During this period of time, we have experienced many difficulties and challenges, but we have never given up hope. We have been working hard to find ways to solve the problems."

"Now, we have found a new type of seed. This seed has great potential. We believe it can help us get out of the predicament and create a brighter future." I pointed to the picture of the new seed displayed on the screen behind me, my tone full of confidence and hope.

"Of course, it's too early to say this now, but I can assure you that we will do our best to use the best technology and the most careful care to cultivate the best quality products!"

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a warm applause from the audience. Old customers showed great interest in our new plan, and they carefully asked questions about the characteristics of the new seeds, planting cycle, expected yield, and so on.

In the following days, we received batches of old customers and showed them our determination and confidence. To our delight, some old customers were full of confidence in our new plan and even signed pre-orders with us on the spot to pre-order the products produced by the new seeds.

Looking at the signed contracts one by one, my heart was filled with joy and excitement. I knew that we finally saw the light and hope.

However, at this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen...

As I signed each contract, I was filled with smiles, but deep down, I still felt a little uneasy. Bai Hanchuan saw all this. After dinner, he took me to the yard, pointed at the sky and said, "Look, even the stars are happy for us."

I forced a smile, "I hope everything goes well."

"Are you still worried about those old customers?" He gently held me in his arms, "Don't worry, since they have chosen to trust us, they will not give up easily."

"That's not what I'm worried about." I raised my head and looked into his deep eyes. "What I'm worried about is... my opponent."

Bai Hanchuan was silent for a moment. He knew who I was referring to. In this industry, we are not without competitors, especially the Zhao Group, which has always regarded us as a thorn in its side. They will definitely not sit idly by and watch us rise again.

"If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth." Bai Hanchuan held my hand tightly. "We are no longer the fish that can be slaughtered at will. We have the ability to protect ourselves and everything we have worked so hard to build."

His words were full of power, and they gradually calmed my flustered heart. Yes, we are no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. We have space, technology, and the determination and courage to fight side by side. We will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties.

In the following days, the atmosphere in the base became noticeably more lively, with workers showing long-lost smiles on their faces and working enthusiastically on the new round of planting preparations. Looking at all this, the haze in my heart gradually dissipated. Maybe I was worrying too much. Maybe we can really get rid of the shadows of the past and usher in a bright future that belongs to us.

However, this calm did not last long. The strange phone call was like an ominous omen, laying the groundwork for the ensuing storm.

"Hello, is this Ms. Mu Jinli?" A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I am..."

Before he could finish, Bai Hanchuan snatched the phone away: "Who are you? What do you want from my wife?"
